Indiana and Ohio State played the biggest game of the day on Saturday, and it absolutely delivered. The Buckeyes were leading 19-7 in the fourth quarter, but the Hoosiers didn’t go away quietly. Indiana was trailing 19-15 late in the fourth and faced a 4th-and-4 with the game on the line.
The Hoosiers called a fantastic play, and WR Nick Marsh beat the defensive back on a double move with an opportunity to secure a touchdown pass. However, his left foot hit the out-of-bounds line just before he put his right foot down.
Marsh had three catches for 57 yards and one touchdown in the game, but all of Indiana nation is going to be thinking about how close he was to getting an incredible second score that would have given the Hoosiers the lead in the final minute of the game.
The loss for the Hoosiers ends a 22-game winning streak, while the Buckeyes got a huge win moving forward. Indiana will be back in action in Week 8, when the Hoosiers travel to the Big House to take on the Michigan Wolverines. Kickoff in that game is scheduled for 12 p.m. ET, and the game will be on Fox.
